Tilt-shift lenses aren’t particularly common. They’re often limited to things like architectural and cityscape photography. Or, they’re used for product photography to help correct or create a perspective shift. They’re very handy. Typically, the exact amount of tilt or shift applied is a best guess. You can take measurements, but they’ll only be so reliable. […]
Or at least, it would do that if it were real. When I first saw this, I thought it was. I have to admit, I got quite excited. A company like Moment had released a 3D analogue camera. But something felt odd, and it turns out it was a concept design. The “Moment 3D Camera” […]
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured yet another stunning, detailed space image. This time, it offers a detailed view of the Cas A supernova remnant, a massive explosion that occurred 340 years ago. This image reveals intricate features of the expanding shell of material slamming into the gas shed by the star before it exploded.
When it comes to timelapse, I’ve always been a fan of DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. But for long-term timelapse, DSLRs and mirrorless cameras aren’t always practical. Sometimes, we need something a little more purpose-built. This is where the Afidus ATL-800 (buy here) steps in. Capable of running for weeks unattended, it’s designed specifically for long-term […]
We've seen some delightful LEGO cameras, and yet another one might hit the stores with enough luck and enough votes. A creator recently designed a LEGO Leica M6 and posted their project on LEGO Ideas. You get to cast your vote, and this toy camera might get into production.
Taking the perfect Instagram shot sometimes isn't worth the risk, and a group of tourists from China recently learned this the hard way. Their gondola ride through the picturesque canals of Venice took a soggy turn when their boat capsized all thanks to selfie-taking. They ignored their gondolier's instructions to sit down and ended up in the cold, murky waters of the canal.
Samyang has announced its newest Sony E mount autofocus cinema prime lens. It’s the Samyang V-AF 100mm T2.3 (buy here). As an FE lens, it’s designed for full-frame cameras and rounds out Samyang’s V-AF lens lineup quite nicely. The original five-lens lineup launched in September 2022 covering 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 45mm and 75mm focal lengths […]
One of the great things about a lot of small sensor cameras is that they’re available in multiple flavours. Most webcams, for example, see both visible light and infrared at night. The Raspberry Pi cameras are the same. In this video, John Irvin takes one of those small infrared camera modules and a Raspberry Pi […]
Photographers and children (children at heart included), LEGO has announced something just for us. It's a new Retro Camera Creator Set, a 3-in-1 set that lets you create a 35mm film SLR camera, a retro video camera, or a retro TV. And all of them are absolutely adorable!
